It is a very lengthly ceremony, 5 hours each. I suppose it is similar to our Buddhist funeral, with man monks praying and the senior monk giving a Dharma talk. Many dignitaries and royalties attended, Halimah attended with her First Husband.

The ashes were moved from 1 temple to 2 more temple. I suppose 1 site is for safekeeping and the other site is for praying. I will research more why?

The cremation late Thursday will be the biggest Thai royal event for a century and will see colourful funeral processions pass through the capital before his funeral pyre is set alight. Prince Andrew, Queen Sofia of Spain and Bahrain's Prime Minister were among the first to arrive on Wednesday, with dozens more expected to join later today, including Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Japan's Prince Akishino and Princess Kiko. Since King Bhumibol passed away in October 2016 aged 88, his body has lain in state in the royal palace in Bangkok while a year-long period of national mourning was observed. According to the country's traditions the embalmed remains have been constantly attended by Buddhist monks performing funeral rites, with ceremonial music played every three hours.
